Trouble at t ‘ mill

Posted by – March 24, 2009

Unfortunately the ZyXEL router (provided by AAISP) rebooted itself three times last night, after starting a BitTorrent which got to about two-thirds of the transfer before the router rebooted itself, and continued to do so in 30 minute increments until we went to bed.  I pray the 660HW doesn't have a connection tables problem like the dreadful Thomson Speedtouch 585 supplied by Be, as iPlayer was constantly causing that to reboot.
Jennifer is NOT impressed with me, or AAISP so far.  She has made it quite clear on her opinions and now I need to re-assure her that I've done the right thing.  Which may not be easy.

Update: There seems to be an issue with the P660HW router's bandwidth management feature that can cause the router to reboot when certain wireless devices are in play.  AAISP remotely disabled this for me (they've seen this happen before, apparently) and now everything is now peachy.  They sorted this out within a few hours of submitting the ticket by email (to be fair – I did submit the ticket around 6:30am!).

    I’m currently having problems with a Belkin router on an Opal LLU, so you have my sympathy. I wonder if there’s general problems with ADSL device compatibility in the UK at the moment.
    AAISP are usually wonderful in difficult situations. I know some troublesome locations that AAISP has got ADSL into when no-one else could. I hope they work it out for you soon.

    Heard back from AAISP after a few hours; they said that it’s probably got something to do with the wireless bandwidth management and certain wireless devices – so they’ve turned bandwidth management off. Hopefully this will do the trick, otherwise Jennifer will be most displeased. :\
